Drawing distinct references from the Celtic and the Classical, Sandra explores the themes of harmony and balance.

Biography

Since she began exhibiting in the late 1980s Sandra Bell has been developing and expanding her practice in cast bronze and fabricated metal sculptures. Often drawing distinct reference from the Celtic and the Classical, the themes of harmony and balance are reoccurring in her work. The simple but challenging lines give way to large spaces that allow a play of light to permeate the work. The smooth surfaces and soft curves draw the viewer in to interact with these living and uncomplicated shapes that can be seen as meditations on the human form and curvaceous abstractions of reality.

Bell has completed over twenty site specific commission to date. Recent commissions include Unity for Cherrywood Business Park Dublin and Teachers Inspire for Dublin City University, both unveiled last year.

Rose Bowl Sandra Bell Irish Sculpture

The pleasure and enjoyment in connecting with people through the creation of my sculpture delights me. I lose myself in my work and explore my inner feelings in a quiet and meditative place. I love that others viewing my sculpture may share part of my experience and find meaning and relevance in the work that I do.
